Built for Elegance
The Feja was crafted in 1926 at a prestigious shipyard in Bolnes, South Holland. Commissioned by Dutch newspaper magnate Sijthoff, she was constructed largely by hand - from the elegant saloon to the commanding wheelhouse.
On her maiden voyage, Feja sailed at 22 km/h, making her the fastest, largest, and most luxurious private yacht in the Netherlands.
Her design proved so iconic that in 1936, the royal yacht 'Piet Heijn' was built in her image as a wedding gift for Queen Juliana and Prince Bernhard.
Rescued and Restored
In 1996, the current owners discovered Feja at a shipyard, nearly destroyed by decades of neglect. Years of careful restoration brought her back to life, and she now serves as both family home and a unique bed and breakfast in Amsterdam's historic Eastern Docklands.
